Application filed January 25, 1913. Serial No. 744,134.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STEPHEN SHELL- HAMMER, a citizen of the UnitedStates," residing at Woodland, in the county of Yolo and State .ofCalifornia, have invented a new and-useful Ice-Cream-Cone Holder,

. ity of coils or loops constituting holders for ice-creamcones, andprovided with supporting legs and a suitablehandle.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, ashereinafter shown in the drawings. and Claimed.

In the .drawingsz Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the improvedice-cream cone holder constructed of a single length of wire material,showing two cones supported thereby. Fig. 2 is a planview of the holder.

Referring more particularly to the drawings 1 designates a single lengthof wire material, looped upon itself substantially at its centralportion to form a coil 2 to re ceive an ice-cream cone. The wirematerial immediately adjacent the coil 2 or 1001) is twisted together asindicated at 3. Beyond the twisted portion 3, the wire material extendslaterally in opposite directions forming the portions 4. Each portion 4is formed in a twisted leg terminating at its. lower end in a loop 6,constituting a foot, and said legs are denoted by the numeral 5.Adjacent said legs 5, the wire material is formed into coiled loops 7adapted to hold cones. The wire material forward of the coils 7 isconstructed into coiled loops 8 to also support cones. The wire materialis twisted together adjacent the coiled loops i. to form additional legs9 having loops 10 at their lower ends forming feet. Beyond the legs 9,the wire material of each side of the holderis brought to substantiallya pointed portion and twisted together as indicated at 11, immediatelyadjacent which twisted portion 11 'an annular loop forming -a coneholder 12 is constructed. Close to the'holder 12, the wire material isagain twisted at 13, and beyond which twist- 13, the two portions 14 ofthe wire material are spread apart, extended rearwardly and coiled aboutthe lateral port-ions 4, as indicated at 15. The two portions 14constitute reinforcing or bracing rods or members, between the loop orholder 12 and the portions 4. The two portions 14 not only brace theloop or holder 12 and the portions 4, but together with the loop 12(which as will be seen connects with the other structure), insurerigidity and strength for the entire ice -cream cone holder. Beyond thecoils 15 the wire ma terial is again twisted'together as shown at 16,while the end portions of the wire material are twisted together asillustrated at 17, thereby forming a looped handle 18.

From the foregoing it is to be ascertained that there has been devised anovel, yet exceedingly simple structural skeleton frame constituting anice-cream holder with a plurality of coiled loops to receive cones, and

all of which parts are constructed of a single length of wire material,it having been found that sucha holder is extremely desirable andpracticable.

The contour of the single wire constructed ice-cream cone holdersubstantially resembles the shape of a heart.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and usefulis 1. A substantially heart-shaped ice-cream cone holder constructed ofa single length of wire material and provided with a plurality of coiledloops to receive cones, 'said wire material being twisted together toform legs, and constructed to form centrally arranged brace rods for theholder, said brace rods terminating together to form a looped handle. a

2. In combination, a single length of wire material coiled upon itselfat its central portion to form a loop to receive a cone, said wirematerial beyond said loop arranged in.

a contour substantially resembling the shape of a heart, therebyproviding a frame having coiled loops and supporting legs, the

wire material adjacent the pointed portion of the heart shaped frameextending inwardly thereof and twisted together to form an additionalcone holding loop, said wire material beyond this additional loopconstituting reinforcing rods coiled about that name to thisspecification in the presence of portion of the heart-shaped frameopposite two subscribing Witnesses.
